My Creative Corner

Here is the box we will be doing at the next Corley craft day which is Sunday 12th August. We will also be making notecards to go in it (I just haven’t got round to making those yet). The workshop is at 1.30pm and costs £10. It’s at Corley Village Hall near Coventry – if you would like to book a place e-mail me at debbie.eviestar@gmail.com.

I’m here with a card to show you today – I bought this Molly Blooms stamp from Stampeezee last week – I love beach huts – probably something to do with my dream of living by the sea! The card is 8″ x 8″ – my favourite size at the moment. I painted the image with my distress inks which gives a lovely watercolour effect and as it’s a big stamp I kept the card really simple. I used beadazzles on the sand and a bit of glitter. You can buy the stamp here.

Here is a close up of the beach huts

I still have places left for the workshop to make the heart (see previous post) at Corley Village Hall, Coventry on Sunday 1st July 1.30pm to 3.30pm. E-mail me debbie.eviestar@gmail.com if you would like to book a place.

Hope you are all making the most of the sunshine whilst we have some! I’m sure it will be raining again tomorrow.

Just a quick shout out for the Coventry Musical Theatre Society who are performing Guys and Dolls at the Belgrade Theatre – starts tomorrow Thursday 21st June – Saturday 23rd June. Book tickets here – they are a very talented group – Grace and I are going Friday night!

Don’t know where the time goes. Can’t believe it’s been nearly 2 months since I last posted! It’s nearly time for our next crop and workshop at Corley Village Hall, Corley, near Coventry. It’s on Sunday 20th May and as before 10.30am is scrapbooking then cropping until 4pm (£15) and my workshop is 1.30pm to 3.30pm (£10). If you would like to know more you can e-mail me at debbie.eviestar@gmail.com Here are the cards we will be doing in my workshop.

I have a couple of exciting things to tell you all about – firstly Jacqui Gilbert (who some of you may remember from Stampeezee as she used to do my scrapbooking workshops) is starting a new monthly scrapbooking crop which will be held at Corley Village Hall, Corley near Coventry. The first one is on Sunday 22nd April 10am – 4pm cost is £15 to include teaching and materials of a double page spread and free tea and coffee. If you want to book or want to know more just e-mail Jacqui at jacqui.gilbert@hotmail.co.uk

The second thing is that I will be doing workshops at the crop – I will come along ready to start 1.30 to do a 2 hour workshop which will cost £10 including all materials. My first one on the 22nd April and we will be making 3 cards to include stamping, embossing and inking. Drop me an e-mail if you want to book on my workshop – debbie.eviestar@gmail.com. You don’t have to be at the crop you can still book and come along at 1.30 just for my workshop and of course if you are already at the crop you might like to book and do my workshop in the afternoon.

We hope this will be a great way for crafters to get together once a month for a really fun, informative and social day with like minded people! And of course I am looking forward to catching up with you all.

Here are the cards I will be doing in the workshop.

Hope to see you there!

The gorgeous heart is one of the new Indigo Blu stamps that have just come in at Stampeezee – they stamp beautifully.

Just wanted to let you all know that Stampeezee is having a mid season sale with a massive 25% off everything for 1 week from Monday 27th February to Sunday 4th March inclusive. This is a fantastic discount so don’t miss out!

Today I thought I would show you a box frame I have made, I’ve been enjoying making lots of different things other than cards lately and I will be back to show you some of them soon. This collage was inspired by some lovely Graphic 45 papers I got from Stampeezee – HERE. The collection is called Tropical Travelogue and the ones I used for this project are Botanica, Oceania and Paradise Postage.
